摘要
Xenorhabdus nematophila var. pekingensis, which is highly virulent for many insects, is a symbiotic bacterium of Steinernema carpocapsae isolated from Beijing soil in China. Previous studies demonstrated that the bacterium had high antifeedant activity against larvae of Helicoverpa armigera, Plutella xylostella and Spodoptera exigua. Herein, we report the purification, molecular cloning and antifeedant activity of an intracellular toxic protein from the bacterium. The purified protein displayed a single band and a relative molecular weight of over 212 kDa determined by SDS-PAGE. We designated the protein as XnAFP2. Peptide segments were obtained by MALDI-TOF and covered 40% of the amino acid sequence of a toxin protein from X. nematophilus PMFI1296. The full cDNA sequence encoding for XnAFP2 (Genbank accession number FJ222606) was amplified from X. nematophlia var. pekingensis and consists of 7575 bp. The gene showed homology with up to 99% identity to the A2 gene from X. nematophila strain BP (GenBank accession number AY282763) and 92% identity to the insecticidal toxin xptA2 gene from X. nematophila PMFI 1296 (GenBank accession number AJ308438). The protein caused a rapid cessation in feeding and reduction in larval weight of H. armigera. When fed to third instar larvae of H. armigera in an artificial diet at 6.0 mu g/g (w/w) toxin protein, growth reduction reached 97.9%. The insecticidal protein greatly decreased fourth instar larval weight, lengthened larval stage, and reduced pupation and emergence rates. The antifeedant rate in choice and no-choice leaf disk tests against fifth instar larvae was 78.4 and 87.6% in 24 h, respectively.
